Hi < Name >,

I wanted to tell you about the Fort York Food Bank (FYFB). Its mission is to feed the hungry and help people reconnect with our community right here in Toronto.

With all the cold weather lately, the demands on FYFB's Community Kitchen have been especially high. FYFB's average client survives on less than $4 a day after paying their occupancy related expenses, so a hot meal and a friendly face at the Community Kitchen becomes essential to getting by when the weather turns cold.

FYFB has raised more than $26,000 towards its $37,000 goal for the Winter Relief Fund. With less than a month go, we need help from friends like you so that it can continue to meet the needs of the most vulnerable in our community at this critical time of year. You can make a secure donation online by clicking here.

Your donation gets you a tax receipt and your name will be entered to win an original painting by Canadian artist Jason Alexander. Check out some of his work here.

I hope you'll help and good luck in the draw!
